Celebrates the centennial of Katherine Mansfield’s BlissThis book celebrates the centennial of Bliss’s publication by offering new readings of some of Mansfield’s most well-known stories, revealing not only the depth and innovation of her work but also the extent to which she was instrumental in revisioning the potential of the short story form. It includes the publication of a newly discovered short story potentially by Mansfield, with an explanatory essay. It also presents a selection of new poetry and a new short story by acclaimed New Zealand author Paula Morris, all inspired by Mansfield.
